Song of the Week: Is This Zach Bryan\u2019s Redemption Era?<\/h2>\nOn this edition of the \u201cPopcast\u201d Song of the Week, our critic Jon Caramanica dives into Zach Bryan\u2019s \u201cAppetite,\u201d a redemptive and contemplative track about \u201cthe horrors that you visited upon yourself.\u201d<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n \nCar\u2019s still in the shop. Life\u2019s cold. You know what else is cold? The sentiment on the new Zach Bryan album. I wanted to talk today about a song on it called \u201cAppetite.\u201d Zach Bryan has had a real run in the last six years. Really one of the breakout stars of the 2020s. And he\u2019s done so in this very stubborn way. Not a lot of public facing appearances outside of his shows. No real engagement with radio. So Zach Bryan\u2019s music lands somewhere near the intersection of what you might think of as American roots music, maybe even a little bit of emo, some Springsteen and country, even though that\u2019s a genre that he chooses consciously not to caucus with. So this album doesn\u2019t veer too far musically from prior Zach Bryan projects, but you do sense a shift in the lyrics. There\u2019s stuff here about alcohol addiction, about letting yourself down, and also what happens when you come out the other side of a really dark period. For someone who has rejected the spotlight as assiduously as Zach Bryan has he\u2019s had an uncommonly public last couple of years. Frisky tweets and deletes, sparring with other musicians and a romantic life that\u2019s become tabloid fodder. Things seem to have taken a turn. He announced that he\u2019s become sober and he recently got married. And so \u201cWith Heaven on Top\u201d is a diary of that era of failure, recovery and reflection. It\u2019s one thing to be sad and frustrated about all the horrors of that the world that has visited upon you. It\u2019s a whole other thing to be sad about the horrors that you visited upon yourself.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
